HTML:In this Western historical romance set in 1800s Texas, a preacher's daughter reluctantly agrees to marry a wealthy playboy . . . even if it means risking her heart. The moment Lauren Holbrook walked into the Texas mansion, she knew she'd been tricked. Instead of asking her to become a secretary, wealthy matriarch Olivia Lockett proposes a scandalous offer: to marry Jared Lockett, her rebellious son and heir to the dynasty, in name only. Lauren can't know Olivia's real motive, but she's achingly aware of her feelings for Jared. Now, in spite of terrible risks, she has to trust her reckless husband. She has strong feelings for him . . . but are they strong enough? . Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

Normally I am SO OBSESSED with a romance novel that can get me away from the world and take me to my dreamy state of mind, but this book didn't do it for me. It was a little disappointing, but I still think this is an excellent book by Sandra Brown. It didn't help I was cramming for exams and was worrying my days away about how my marks would look, so my lack of relaxation wasn't totally Sandra Brown's fault!
This book is centered in 1800s Texas, and we've got a preacher's daughter and a rebellious man. Isn't this just the stereotypical norm for a really great, mind numbing romance? To some people, that's the worst norm in the world, but sometimes that norm just gets me! I loved that this book took me back to the past and away from my problems. Sandra Brown's speaking tone in this novel gets you in and gets you hooked!
This is apparently one of her older books (I hate to admit it was made before I was born... 1994...wow), so I'm very tempted to pick up a more recent one. Most likely, her talent has increased the more she has written. It does stand the test of time (if you ask me), but it's historical fiction so that helps it out a lot.
Was this book mind blowing? No. It didn't knock me off my feet like some romance novels do, but I like that it was simple, sweet and to the point. It's a good book to just sink away from the world in, if that's what you are looking for.
It fits close to the "good girl, bad boy" stereotype, but with a little more "cheese" factor in it. It will tear at your heart strings a bit as well!
Overall, this book was a nice, melodramatic, romance novel. I definitely want to pick up more by Sandra Brown (and luckily I have another hiding on my shelf...) in the near future.
Three out of five stars!
